I guess.. True there but no one like's Luca's 25 lol -
I think they said it's random, but personally i think they check the value. High value = High VAT charges. Obviously there are ways around it. Some stuff i get from certain sellers gets through ok. Never bought from loopaza before though so least ill know for next time. And on the plus side, i have 3 vf-31a's and an arcadia vf-0a to look forward to this weekend My ebay one has also shipped. 4 frigging 31a's lol what was i thinking hey. I'm not complaining.

I don't understand the fascination with the elintseeker. What am I missing here?

Well I have paid the government their ransom money to free my valks. A total of £186 of my hard earned manx pounds. Pretty much the price of a valk itself. I would like everyone to share a moment of silence for my wallet and the great sacrifice it made so my valks could be returned safely to their loved one. Moral of the story here is, don't complain about delays if you get it at no extra cost. I'd rather it be delayed and still receive at no extra cost than having to pay extra VAT. When you have to pay those extra charges for import fees/tax, In my case it was purely VAT. Then, you will have my sympathy. So be warned and pray your government doesn't steal your valks for ransom.

They really need to do a weaponry set. Arcadia had the right idea with the yf-19. It's the only thing lacking with the bandai stuff.
-
If it comes with weaponry I'm getting two sets.

Super parts anyone?

A possible scenario. Both maybe linked to the secret organization S.H.A.F.T.T.H.E.C.#.N.T.S I think it's around 17.5%

Current situation in the Isle of man. Valks are still being held hostage by government. Negotiations are taking place. A hefty tax ransom charge may have to be paid. Update: Arcadia vf-0a has also been taken hostage. This brings the total hostage count upto 4 valks. The government are getting desperate. It's as if the three valks aren't enough. The negotiator is getting ready to have pants pulled down and get shafted by government. Hope they are gentle. More news soon.

Yes robbing tw@ts Haha awesome mate small world hey! Glad you you enjoyed it. You missed the busiest time too. It's generally a quiet little island but when the TT is on the place is taken over by over 20000 bikers. All you can hear is bikes.

True and fair point, the vf-11b battle at the start of the series was a highlight for me in Mac plus. But I guess because he is always going to be known mostly for flying the yf-19. He is stuck with that style of valk and even that paint scheme. I would like to see another vf-11b release because he was eagle 107 and kicked ass.

Interesting guys thanks, there are definitely pros and cons when it comes to the boxes. I tend to also keep mine in the shipper boxes they arrived in too, which are generally bigger still. But it's peace of mind knowing they are protected vs space consumption. The bandai valk boxes are indeed a convenient size compared to the yamato and even Arcadia boxes. Ironically it's the yamato and Arcadia valks that are the rarest in my collection so big boxes plus bigger box is unfortunately the way it has to be. I do also buy double or more of some types purely so I can keep one misb and the other as a mess around.
-
Seeing as we are talking boxes, Who here does away with their boxes? I'd be curious to know if some of you just have the valks and extras and do away with the packaging. I can definitely see the benefit of it. As a collector though I guess I just have to have the boxes for sake of having it complete. Having said that I did do away with my boxes for the neca 1/4 preds guarding my detolf. Now they were big boxes!

@no3Ljm because it's Isamu dude come on lol seriously though it would be cool to have another "isamu custom" even though it's probably less likely to happen with the 31.
-
My three are here now but looks like I'll have to pay the government some ransom money so they can release my valks to me. Hope everyone gets there 31a's soon so we can get back to actually talking about them and not shipping times and costs
-
That must be crazy. Couldn't even imagine having to deal with that over here. If we had an earthquake we would probably sink lol
-
If isamu wanted to upgrade...
-
Best way man, best way better to have it and worry about where it goes later than not having it at all.

@Chronocidal @Slave IV I generally keep the light stuff at the top (or expensive) thankfully all the boxes are well packed as I keep alot of misb stuff too, so packaging is important to me. It's only a temporary solution anyway. One day all these valks will have a proper display case to be shown off in. You do have to get creative at times when finding spaces for stuff to live
-
I've always thought that space is a secondary consideration when buying valks. I'll worry about it later... But, judging by the picture sooner or later lack of space may hinder me! it actually is like playing Tetris stacking that lot.

Being based on Hong Kong will help I reckon. Bet their supplier is just down the road Hopefully should have my three from them this week. The Ebay seller one I'm still waiting on. I paid $250 for first two, then $270 for the last one few weeks later. It shot upto $290 and is now sold out.
